I used chicken wire to build my shelving. It allows the water to drain away and light gets through any crack not filled by a tray. However, I think the gravel serves the purpose of keeping humidity around the plants,,,maybe someone else knows for sure.

I would think the ventilation is most important. While my greenhouse stays nice and warm during the winter months with the heater running like crazy; in the summer it gets in excess of 130 degrees in there, and thats with a shade cloth, an exhaust fan and vents.
